From: Derick Eddington <kcired <at> pm.me> To: 79013 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#79013: `window-state-put' uses incorrect alist key `'min-weight' but should use `'min-width'. Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2025 08:13:27 +0000
To reproduce:
$ emacs -Q --batch --eval \
"(window-state-put '(((min-height . 12)
(min-width . 20)
(min-height-ignore . 7)
(min-width-ignore . 8)
(min-height-safe . 3)
(min-width-safe . 4))
vc
(total-width . 200)
(total-height . 60)
(normal-height . 1.0)
(normal-width . 1.0)
(combination-limit)))"
Which causes the following error:
Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil
because (in the definition of `window-state-put'):
(min-width (cdr (assq
(if pixelwise 'min-pixel-width 'min-weight)
head)))
binds `min-width' to `nil' because `'min-weight' is (correctly) not in
the input alist.
and so:
(> min-width (window-size window t pixelwise)))
causes the error.
Whereas, if you substitute the incorrect key it's currently using,
`'min-weight' for `'min-width', in the input alist, then it does not
error. But that would be invalid because it's supposed to use
`'min-width', like `window-state-get' returns.
This mistake was introduced in commit 880e615 "Support resizing frames
and windows pixelwise." in the year 2013. Previously, `'min-width' had
been used, but when that commit introduced `'min-pixel-width' it also
typoed as `'min-weight' its attempt at preserving the `'min-width'.
I'll be submitting a patch to fix this.
The fix is simply:

+++ b/lisp/window.el
